When is it okay to adjust your work ? Is there a rule at all ?See,
normally I would never change anything for the sake of selling. When I
make something, that's it, take it or leave it / love it or hate it. But
in this case.... the green mermaid that already had a bikini-top
originally didn't either and before I finished her I clothed her for the
sake of my kids who kept asking why all my mermaids were topless. The
other one stayed topless until the lady that liked to purchase her asked
if I could please give her a top as well, for her children's sake...and
I complied....I have no hard feelings, I think she looks lovely either
way, but did I stay true to myself ? {in both cases} Is it okay to let
yourself be influenced by anybody, even immediate family ?

Yes I have been and still are very busy, but busy with lots of art, which is good !

Soul Food is just amazing ! my lessons for this collective are waiting to go live next week, classes for term 2 have
also started again this week and I am developing some new ideas. It
feels good., keeps me warm now that the weather starts to become colder
here in the southern hemisphere. I need to focus though, when I get
overinspired like this, I can hardly sleep and get sidetracked easily
too, scatterbrained if you will. So perhaps I will just go and have a
bit of a sleep in this Sunday.

In this post I would like to talk about the wonderful variety of art projects in Soul Food. The 35+ artists all sharing an art class/project are a real inspiration. It is such a great way to get acquainted with techniques you would otherwise not try or have known about, it's really refreshing. I love it ! I am also grateful to be one of the Soul Food sous chefs {my class will be going live a little later this month} That also means I have been extra busy getting all the videos done and edited, and yes, of course just at a time like this the computer starts to protest....but I don't give up, so this last week quite a few more hours spent to get it all going...and...now they are uploading as I am typing this post. If you didn't make it this time to register for Soul Food, I would strongly suggest to do so next year. Here are just a few of the projects:
